The indicator lights have the following significance:
w
indicates that a disc is loaded and playing. The display will
show the track and index numbers, or one of the time
parameters, depending on the display mode that has been
selected.
p
indicates that play has been paused. Play can be resumed
by pressing
PAUSE
p
or
PLAY
w.
DIGITAL
indicates that digital data is being transmitted out of the
ELECTRICAL DATA OUTPUT
socket at the rear of the MIMIK.
If you are using an outboard DAC with your MIMIK, this
light should be on, otherwise the DAC will not be receiving
any input. The
DIGITAL
key toggles this function off and on.
REPEAT
indicates that the MIMIK has been set to repeat the whole
disc, or some portion of it. To cancel the repeat, you need
to press and release
REPEAT
either once or twice, depending
on whether a full or part disc repeat was specified initially.
COMPACT DISC CARE
The compact disc is not an invulnerable medium. For the longest
lifetime and highest performance of your CD collection, pay attention
to the following points:
1. Do not touch either side of the disc. Handle it by its edges only.
2. Scratches or dirt on either side of the disc activate correction
circuits in the transport. This complicates the retrieval of
information and may result in degradation of sound quality. A
badly scratched or dirty disc may skip, or refuse to play.
3. The edge of the CD centre hole must be kept in pristine
condition, as a transport relies on an accurate fit of the hole to
the spindle to maintain the highest performance.
